Oh my, how my Saturday nights have changed...

Third Saturday here and I'm finally figuring out just how intense everyone is about there studies here. The Russian school took a trip today to Lake Dunbar, about 20 minutes away. Lots of things to do there, kayaking, canoeing, swimming, baseball, etc. I immediately went straight for a swim. Only a couple of other students followed me in, and a couple minutes later I got out of the lake, curious to know where the other 100 students were. I got on shore only to find about 50 students laying out on their towels with our weekend homework laid out in front of them! Never before have I felt like the goof-off! Who would have thought? Needless to say, I DID bring my homework with me too - however I decided I was better off spending my time relaxing. I swam as much as my leg would let me, and joined in some frisbee. However, it's now 9pm on Saturday night and I'm on my second hour of homework. Oh, the life of a student....

Ahhh dearest Cat, I hope you are able to maintain the fragile web of your sanity as it seems you've entered the realm of a Soviet gulag camp. Perhaps enlightenment may come before reading a russian-to-english dictionary epitomizes the highlight of the day. I am preparing for my trip to Las Vegas on Monday. Fun in sin city 0:-) Be well ole chap.
